I got one more question, What does the STS kit (Tail) blow off valve sound like? I thought my was working un-tell some-one told me it sounded like "turbo bark".

If you have the blowoff valve just adjust it to open a little sooner. Kinda tough tho if you are running a two stage controller.

Well turns out there is a little arrow on the regulator for the boost controller, and if you hook it up wrong, you'r boost will spike and will have a higher overall boost presure.
Now if I could get my Air/Fuel ratio under control.
How would you adjust the Blow off valve to open sooner?

You guys, I don't know if anyone has chimed in on the blow-off valve sound but the STS base kit comes with a wasegate only and it does make the woop-woop-woop sound when you back out of thr throttle under boost. However the wastegate is different than a blow-off valve. Just thought I'd throw this in to the disscussion.

Ya I though I was saving time When I just "T"ed into my boost gauge and Alkycontrol M.A.P hoses. If that makes any cents, anyway the M.A.P's (and Blow off valve) only had 1/8 hose being supplied to them, I was told that the blow of needs at least 3/8 hose, so I got to hook the blow off valve to the brake booster supply hose to fix the problem.
